hotshot2me 31 Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 With having this present breathing problem i was a bit fed up of staying in the house so i thought i'd do a little shooting in the back yard. so out i went and set up some cotton thread on some of those pins that you use for pinning up messages on those cork boards set them against white paper to see results. I started shooting on the first thread starting right to left was not pleased with the start anyway here's the Vid watch untill end as i moved on to a grouping shots: Dave Quote Link to post
Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 eyup bud what camera do you use and how do you mount it to your rifle? good shooting shame about your breathing hope it improves a bit for you all the best Quote Link to post
Marksman 934 Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 nice vids mate One thing I will comment on is the same as Skot, youre breathing is fine until you come to take the shots, you seem to be holding your breath far too long hence the wobbling camera as your muscles get fatigued due to lack of oxygen Darryl Quote Link to post
hotshot2me 31 Posted July 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Your right Darryl ive had a stinker of a throat infection that i havent got over yet, and every time i old my breath i feel like i have to breeth straight away.

AR177 588 Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Try doing it on the exhale rahter than inhaling and holding your breath. Thats when your body is at its tighestest and most stable, squeeze the trigger on the exhale and take up first pressure, reach the bottom of the exhale when the stomarch is tightest , pause in breathing (no more that 5 seconds) squeeze second pressure, shot is fired then breathe again. If after the 5 seconds you have not taken the shot release the pressure and breathe again, compose and start over thats how i got taught and it works well for me Give it a try and see how you feel everyone developes their own rythem ATB Adam Quote Link to post

AR177 588 Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 If im teaching you to suck eggs please ignore me but when you look down the sight to the target try and get it so that the crosshairs only move up and down when you breathe, if they move left and right then your shooting position is too loose and needs to be tightened up. The crosshairs should be in sync with your breathing over the target , so for me the crosshairs are where i want them when i reach the bottom of the exhale (when i take my shot) and rise when i breathe in. A good tip is to point at the target as if you were going to shoot, close your eyes and breathe for a few seconds, open your eyes and you will see where your natural body position is pointing the rifle, this should be over the target, if it isnt you need to re adjust so you point naturally at the target, keep doing it until when you close your eyes and open them you are over the target, this will improve the accuracy as you are not straining the muscles to pull the rifle into an un natural position and will cut down on the shaking.

hotshot2me 31 Posted July 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Thanks Adam, hope I'm better by Tues when i go to the Docs as i plan to go shooting all being well that evening, we have a field that as not been shot for a year, and was just cut on Thursday for the Hay. And Alan B that shoots with me actually cut it, as he helps out on the Farm and while he was cutting it Rabbits were flying out every ware, and the field is easily accessible for my 4x4 so it wont stress me out too much ATVB : Dave Quote Link to post
